GO2020 | ENGAGE: February Week 4 — PRAYERExemplo

  

February 25—God Over Answers Prayer

Read

1 Kings 18:16-45

Reflect

We return to the passage from yesterday to see that God answered Elijah’s prayer beyond the imagination of those who had been invited to draw near. Not only did the fire from heaven (the very thing Baal could not produce), burn up the offering, it also consumed the wood, the stones, the dust and the 12 containers of water that had been poured out over the altar. God moved in power, more than anyone could have expected, and their response was worship. They fell on their faces and said, “The Lord, he is God; the Lord, he is God.”

Engage

Reread the Scripture passage. You’ve now read it two days in a row. Does anything stand out to you differently than it did yesterday? Consider the ENGAGE questions again. Don’t be afraid of the repetition. We learn more about God each time we read and reread his Word.

· What does it say about God?

· What does it say about us?

· Is there a promise to trust?

· Is there a command to obey?

· How will I apply this Scripture to my life?

· Who will I show that I care by sharing this truth?

Memorize

Now read this week’s memory verse, James 5:16b. Spend a few minutes working to memorize it.
